"Sport England has changed its ways and will be giving more grants direct to sports' governing bodies. To qualify we have to have plans to create growth (more competitors); to sustain them after age 16, and to create routes to excellence.

The only mechanism BWLA has for growth is the Postal Clean and Jerk Scheme, which also identifies talent we must sustain in the sport. The Weightlifters' Supporters Fund pays for the scheme, gives many £thousands in cash and kit to good young lifters and their clubs, so we are helping to keep people on the road to excellence. But it all starts with growth."
